Magus anti paladin?

[Kozaric]

Hello all, I am in a home game where I have a 4th level elf Magus that is attempting to dable with becoming an unholy champion of an evil deity of magic and treachery.

I am not concerned with his stats at this point but was wondering if a magus anti paladin build is feasible at this point, or if there was a prc that would have a similar rp feel.

Maybe even a feat selection to give the Magus the unholy champion feel.

Thank you.

Magus stats and class features and Antipaladin stats and class features do not overlap much. Elf Magi will probably have DEX>INT>Other stats>CHA. Antipaladins usually want STR>CHA>Other stats. Both Magi and Antipaladins use swift actions fairly liberally, and have overlapping weapon enhancement abilities. Multiclassing out of Magus will hurt your spell progression.

If you want to get that evil feel without completely nerfing yourself into oblivion, try the Bladebound archetype and the Damnation feats. Bladebound can get you a black blade, which is pretty deliciously thematic, while damnation feats are a decent, though not spectacular line of feats that grant you various evil champion abilities.

You can certainly build a Str based Magus.

The Eldritch Scion archetype may be what you are looking for. It makes the Magus Cha based spontaneous casters with a Bloodrager bloodline. Pick Infernal or Abyssal bloodline and you have an unholy Magus.

Demonspawn tiefling would be a perfect race for such a character.

A Magus can easily be built to feel like an unholy champion. I'm not sure why you'd want to multiclass to Antipaladin though, I don't see the two combining well.

For pure Magus, I'd suggest the Eldritch Scion with the Abyssal, Aberrant, or Black Blood bloodline; an imp or similar familiar; and a focus on spells like Vampiric Touch.

Here's a Magus guide for you.

Thanks everyone for the advice.

I like the black blade with domination feats, it actually meshes well with the diety.

The multicasting with antipaladin antipaladin is definitely out of consideration.

For Prc either Demoniac or Hell Knight depending on if your focus is close combat or spell casting
